Calendar of Events

On Thursday, Oct. 25, at 4:30 p.m. in Clark House Room 100 at Amherst College, Nancy Rosenblum, professor of ethics in politics and government at Harvard University, will present a paper titled “The New Conspiracism and Immunity to the Law.” This is the second presentation in a series of seminars that will take place this year on the theme “Law and Illiberalism.”

Professor Rosenblum’s field of research is historical and contemporary political thought. Her publications include Good Neighbors: The Democracy of Everyday Life in America (2016) and On the Side of the Angels: An Appreciation of Parties and Partisanship (2010). Professor Rosenblum is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Science and co-editor of the Annual Review of Political Science.

To receive a copy of the paper which will define the new conspiracism, identify its principal targets and survey how it delegitimates democratic institutions, please email the LJST Department Coordinator at mlestes@amherst.edu.

Expand your understanding of career options after graduation. Join us in a discussion with five unique alumni, moderated by Wade Fellow Anthony Jack '07, and hear about the professional paths they traveled after Amherst. Panelists are: Amelia Schoenbeck '14, human capital analyst at Goldman Sachs; Evan Nabrit '06, creative services specialist at Jacobs; Charmel Maynard '07, treasurer for the University of Miami; Jared Banner '07, vice president of player personnel for the Boston Red Sox; and Tarasai Karega '09, in partnership sales at NBC Sports Philadelphia.
